Growth is constant. Change is constant. Learning is constant. Life is anything but stagnant.

The idea that there is enough DNA in each of our bodies, that if it were laid out end to end it would stretch between the Sun and Pluto seven times, and we still treat ourselves like we are so very small.
The idea that the universe loved us enough that it painted a perfect picture of itself in each of our cells to remind us that it is there always, and yet we belittle ourselves and think no one loves us.
The idea that we believe we are not walking miracles, even though each footstep confirms it, each heartbeat is a chorus from the stars that made us:
“Your existence is valued. Your existence is needed.”
- Nikita Gill, Lessons From The Cosmos
Sometimes you cannot control how you fall, but what you can control is how you get back up again.
“If you don’t understand, ask questions. If you’re uncomfortable about asking questions, say you are uncomfortable about asking questions and then ask anyway. It’s easy to tell when a question is coming from a good place. Then listen some more. Sometimes people just want to feel heard. Here’s to possibilities of friendship and connection and understanding.”—
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“Joy in looking and comprehending is nature’s most beautiful gift.”— Albert Einstein

Listen to me. This is your life– no one else’s. At the end of the day, it is you who has to be happy with the choices you are making, food you are eating, things you are doing, goals you are pursuing. Do not let the opinions and judgments of others stop you from doing what you feel and know in your heart is right for you. Eat the food that makes you feel best. Do what makes you feel at peace. Surround yourself with people who make you feel good, who make you laugh, who sincerely make you smile. Go after what you want– not because someone else is telling you to, but because you want to. Listen to that inner voice, trust your gut, and trust yourself.
